The Committee notes from the details given by the Ministry of Shipping that the GBS got reduced at the RE stage in the five annual plans. However, the percentage of reduction was less during 2016-17 compared to the previous years. 3 7. The Committee observes that the Twelfth Five Year Plan outlay for the Ministry of Shipping development in the country was ` 6960 crore as GBS and ` 18946.18 crore as IEBR. Out of it, the major chunk of allocation (GBS) of ` 3902.53 crore was for development of shipping sector and ` 3057.47 crore for the Ports Sector. From the data provided by the Ministry of Shipping, the total allocations made all these five years was only ` 2306 crore out of which the spending up to 31st January, 2017 is ` 2241.68 crore. The Committee is very disappointed to note that the actual allocation made to Ministry of Shipping is only 32.20% of the outlay (GBS) decided by the Planning Commission. The Committee recommends that the Ministry of Shipping should give due care in utilizing the allocations promptly by completing the targeted projects within the stipulated time. 8. The Committee desires to know the comparison of the targets fixed by the erstwhile Planning Commission during Twelfth plan period for the Ministry of Shipping and the achievements of the targets made by the Ministry at the end of the Twelfth Plan period. The year-wise details and the percentage of achievement, etc. of each of the targets set in the Port and Shipping Sectors
